Motorists considering going green may be interested to read that a number of shopping centres across the UK have introduced special chargers for electric cars.
The service is free to use and has been introduced to Capital Shopping Centres (CSC) in various locations, including Chapelfield, Norwich; The Victoria Centre, Nottingham; The Harlequin, Watford and The Chimes, Uxbridge.
CSC has teamed up with EDF Energy and Elektromotive to introduce the chargers in a bid to highlight how going green can be beneficial to the environment while being economical too.
Kay Chaldecott, managing director of CSC, stated that the chargers would offer consumers a convenient service.
Steve Beverley, sustainable travel manager at CSC, added: "By supporting the required re-fuelling infrastructure for electric cars, motorists will feel more confident and comfortable in moving towards greener driving and reducing their CO2 emissions."
Earlier this year, it was announced that the mayor of Paris was considering introducing an electric car scheme across the city that people can use without having to book, the Times reports.
